Key Lime Pie Yogurt Bark Recipe

Introduction

Key Lime Pie Yogurt Bark is a refreshing and healthy treat that combines tangy key lime flavor with creamy Greek yogurt and crunchy toppings. Perfect for a light dessert or snack, it’s simple to make and requires no baking.

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat for higher protein; dairy-free yogurt can be used)
• 3.5 tbsp key lime juice
• 2 tbsp powdered Swerve or 1 tbsp honey (adjust sweetness to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (such as Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)
• 1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, protein powder, lime zest, powdered Swerve (or sweetener of choice), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin, even layer.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut, and additional lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer.
4. Step 4: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is fully frozen and set.
5. Step 5: Once frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Lift the parchment paper or silicone mat from the baking sheet and break the frozen yogurt bark into pieces.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Yogurt Mixture

• 2.5 cups plain non-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt (can substitute dairy-free yogurt of choice)
• 3.5 tbsp key lime juice
• 2 tbsp powdered swerve (or substitute 1 tbsp honey; adjust sweetness to taste)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lime zest
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)

Toppings

• 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (e.g., Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)

• Additional lime zest for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, vanilla protein powder, lime zest, powdered swerve or sweetener of choice, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Spread the mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Evenly spread the yogurt mixture over the prepared surface, creating a thin, uniform layer about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Add toppings: Sprinkle the crushed gluten-free graham crackers, toasted coconut, and additional lime zest evenly on top of the yogurt layer to add texture and flavor.
4. Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until the yogurt bark is completely frozen and firm.
5. Break and serve: Once fully frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Lift the parchment paper or silicone mat with the frozen bark off the sheet and break it into pieces of desired size.
6. Store: Enjoy immediately or store the bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To prevent sticking, store in a single layer or separated by parchment paper sheets.

Notes

• You can use dairy-free yogurt and protein powder to make this recipe vegan.
• Adjust the sweetness to your taste by using honey, maple syrup, or other preferred sweeteners.
• For a crunchier texture, toast the coconut just until golden brown before adding.
• This yogurt bark should be kept frozen until serving, as it will soften at room temperature.
• Be sure to spread the yogurt mixture thinly and evenly for best freezing results.
• Use gluten-free graham crackers to keep the recipe gluten-free.
